Kommers et al. (2001) BATSE Non-Triggered Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog

This is the Kommers et al. (2001) Non-Triggered Burst Supplement to the BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) Catalog. It contains 873 "non-triggered" GRBs that were detected in a search of the BATSE Archival continuous data recorded between 1991 December 9 and 1997 December 17 for which the BATSE on-board burst trigger was not activated, for example because the burst was too faint to exceed the on-board detection threshold or it occurred while the on-board trigger was disabled for technical reasons. For each burst, the catalog gives an estimated source direction, duration, peak flux, and fluence. This catalog increases the number of GRBs detected using BATSE by 48% during the time period covered by the search. This database table was created at the HEASARC in September 2001 using the authors' file <a href="http://space.mit.edu/BATSE/ntgrb-ascii.html">http://space.mit.edu/BATSE/ntgrb-ascii.html</a> This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

Response of mammary tissue to high-LET HZE particle (Silicon ions) radiation or low-LET gamma-rays

Transcriptional profiling of mammary tissue irradiated at 10 weeks of age with either 100 cGy sparsely ionizing gamma-rays, or 10 cGy or 30 cGy densely ionizing radiation (350 MeV/amu Si). Mammary tissue was collected 1 weeks, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks post-irradiation. Four radiation treatment groups: sham, 100 cGy sparsely ionizing gamma-rays, 10 cGy or 30 cGy densely ionizing radiation (350 MeV/amu Si). Three time points post-irradiation (1, 4, and 12 weeks). Three or four replicates per time point.

Fermi All-Sky Variability Analysis Second Catalog of Flaring Gamma-Ray Sources

The Fermi All-sky Variability Analysis (FAVA) is an analysis technique that searches for flaring sources in data collected by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. It uses a photometric approach to blindly search for flares over the entire sky, and a likelihood analysis to precisely locate them and to measure their spectra. This catalog contains the flares and sources detected by running FAVA over the first 7.4 years of Fermi mission, from Modified Julian Date (MJD) 54682 (2008-08-04) to 57391 (2016-01-04). The analysis has been run in weekly time bins and in two independent energy bands, 100-800 MeV and 0.8-300 GeV. The detection threshold applied to the catalog flares is equivalent to 6 sigma (pre trials). The sources in the 2FAV are identified as clusters of flares. Their position and the corresponding error are derived from a weighted average of the best localized flares in the cluster. Likely gamma-ray counterparts, based on positional coincidence, are provided for the sources. This database table was first ingested by the HEASARC in July 2017 using electronic data obtained from the Fermi Science Support Center (FSSC). That data is available at <a href="http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/lat/fava_catalog/">http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/lat/fava_catalog/</a>.

Swift Gamma Ray Burst Compilation by Burst Advocate

This database table includes the early results published in the Gamma-Ray Burst Coordinates Network (GCN) circulars on GRBs detected by the Swift observatory and GRBs detected first by other observatories and followed by Swift. The Swift observatory has a rapid (minute timescale) response to GRB detection and performs sensitive X-ray and optical afterglow observations of hundreds of GRBs on all timescales, from minutes to even months later. The instrumentation consists in a large field of view (FOV) instrument, the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT, 15-150 keV) and two narrow field of view instruments, the Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) and the X-ray Telescope (XRT). The BAT searches the sky for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), determines their location with a precision of a few arcminutes, and triggers an autonomous spacecraft slew to place the burst in the FOV of the narrow field instruments. The first-look data from the three Swift instruments for a newly discovered GRB and its afterglow are transmitted to the ground via TDRSS. The complete telemetry (including the messages transmitted via TDRSS) is subsequently sent down via the Malindi ground station. The information transmitted via TDRSS are broadcast via the the Gamma-Ray Burst Coordinates Network (GCN) followed by subsequent GCN circular based on the early ground analysis of the data collected by Malindi. If the GRB is triggered by Swift , this table records the initial characteristic associated to a burst obtained with the data coming via TDRSS and initial data downloaded via Malindi which results are published via the GCN. In addition the table reports other burst characteristics as for redshift obtained by observations with ground observatories. If the GRB is detected first by other observatories, the table reports results obtained with the ground analysis of the Malindi data and published via the GCN. This database table is generated by compiling the results of the GCN circulars. It was added to the HEASARC database in March 2025. During operation, it is updated weekly and/or for any new trigger. This table is also available at <a href="https://swift.gsfc.nasa.gov/archive/grb_table/">https://swift.gsfc.nasa.gov/archive/grb_table/</a>. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

Stern et al. (2001) BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog

The Stern et al. (2001) BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) Catalog was constructed by scanning the archival BATSE daily records (DISCLA data) covering the entire 9.1 years of BATSE's operation. 3906 GRBs were detected, 2068 of which are previously known BATSE triggers while 1838 of them are new non-triggered bursts. All events were detected in the same kind of data with 1.024 seconds time resolution and were processed with the same procedure, and thus constitute a uniform sample. This scan lowers the BATSE detection threshold to ~0.1 photons/s/cm**2. This database table was created at the HEASARC in August 2001 using the file <a href="ftp://ftp.astro.su.se/pub/head/grb/catalogs/etable2.txt">ftp://ftp.astro.su.se/pub/head/grb/catalogs/etable2.txt</a> on the Stockholm Observatory ftp site.

Fermi LAT Second Catalog of Gamma-Ray Pulsars (2PC)

This catalog summarizes 0.1 GeV gamma-ray pulsar detections using data acquired by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite. These pulsars are neutron stars identified using LAT data through periodicity searches in gamma-ray and radio data around LAT unassociated source positions. The catalogued pulsars are divided into three groups: millisecond pulsars, young radio-loud pulsars, and young radio-quiet pulsars. This catalog summarizes results of the analysis of pulse profiles and energy spectra, and analysis of the off-peak phase intervals, and compares the gamma-ray properties with those in the radio, optical, and X-ray bands. Flux limits for pulsars with no observed gamma-ray emission are provided. This database was constructed by the HEASARC by combining the tabulated data in the psrcat.dat, spec.dat, offpk.dat and refs.dat obtained from <a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013yCat..22080017A">http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013yCat..22080017A</a>.

MESSENGER E/V/H GRNS 3 GAMMA RAY SPECTROMETER CALIBDATA V1.0

Abstract ======== This data set consists of the MESSENGER GRS calibrated observations (CDRs) and the reduced data product (RDR). The GRS experiment is a gamma ray spectrometer designed to observe spectra of gamma rays emitted from Mercury's surface in the energy range from 0.1 to 10 MeV. There are seven basic GRS CDR data products: the Ge raw spectra data (GRS_CAL_RAW), the anti-coincidence spectra data (GRS_CAL_AC), the shield spectra data (GRS_CAL_SH, GRS_CAL_SH2, GRS_CAL_SH3), the shield count rate (GRS_CAL_SCR) and the engineering data (GRS_ENG). There is one GRS RDR product (GRS_RDR_SUM), a spectral sum of the GRS_CAL_RAW and GRS_CAL_AC spectra.

Radio-Selected Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow Catalog

This table contains a catalog of radio afterglow observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) over a 14 year period from 1997 to 2011. This sample of 304 afterglows consists of 2,995 flux density measurements (including upper limits) at frequencies between 0.6 GHz and 660 GHz, with the majority of data taken in the 8.5-GHz frequency band (1,539 measurements). The authors use this dataset to carry out a statistical analysis of the radio-selected sample. The detection rate of radio afterglows stayed unchanged almost at 31% before and after the launch of the Swift satellite. The canonical long-duration GRB radio light curve at 8.5 GHz peaks at three to six days in the source rest frame, with a median peak luminosity of 1031 erg/s/Hz. The peak radio luminosities for short-hard bursts, X-ray flashes, and the supernova-GRB classes are an order of magnitude or more fainter than this value. There are clear relationships between the detectability of a radio afterglow and the fluence or energy of a GRB, and the X-ray or optical brightness of the afterglow. However, the authors find few significant correlations between these same GRB and afterglow properties and the peak radio flux density. In their paper, they also produce synthetic light curves at centimeter and millimeter bands using a range of blast wave and microphysics parameters derived from multi-wavelength afterglow modeling, and use them to compare with the radio sample. Finding agreement, the authors extrapolate this behavior to predict the centimeter and millimeter behavior of GRBs which will observed by the Expanded Very Large Array and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array. The compiled sample consists of 304 GRBs observed with radio telescopes between 1997 January and 2011 January, along with the 2011 April 28 Fermi burst, GRB 110428A. The sample consists of a total of 2,995 flux density measurements taken in the frequency range from 0.6 to 660 GHz and spanning a time range from 0.026 to 1,339 days. Most of the afterglows (270 in total) in this sample were observed as part of VLA radio afterglow programs, whereas 15 bursts were observed by the Expanded VLA (EVLA), and 19 southern bursts with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). This catalog describes the radio, optical and X-ray afterglow detections (see Section 2.2 of the reference paper): out of the 304 bursts, 123 bursts were observed in the pre-Swift epoch from 1997 until 2004. The remaining 181 bursts were observed between 2005 and 2011 April (the post-Swift epoch). Out of the 95 radio-detected afterglows (see Section 2.2 of the reference paper), 63 had radio lightcurves (i.e., three or more detections in a single radio band), whereas 32 bursts had less than three detections. For the GRBs for which the light curves were available, the authors determined the peak flux density and the time of the peak in the VLA frequency bands (i.e., 1.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz, 8.5 GHz, 15 GHz, and 22.5 GHz bands) by fitting the data with forward shock formula of the form (Frail 2005, IAU Coll. 192, p. 451) given in equation (1) of the reference paper. This formula may not accurately represent the full complexity of the radio lightcurve evolution. However, it is good enough to determine the approximate values for the peak flux density Fm and the time of the peak tm. See the discussion in Section 3.5 of the reference paper for more details and some caveats. For the remaining bursts, the flux density values were taken directly from the data, and hence do not have the best-fit errors for the peak flux, peak time and rest-frame peak time parameters Fm, tm and tm/(1+z), respectively.

Swift Gamma-ray Urgent Archiver for Novel Opportunities (GUANO) Events

The Swift Observatory provides event-level data from the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on demand in response to transients detected by other observatories/instruments. This capability, named "Gamma-ray Urgent Archiver for Novel Opportunities" (GUANO), was introduced in 2020. In normal operations, BAT records the arrival time (to 100-microsecond accuracy), location (in detector coordinates), and energy (in one of 80 bins from 15 to 350 keV) for each individual count that strikes the detector. These data, referred as event-by-event (or event), because of the large effective area of the BAT, produces a large data volume that cannot all be stored onboard or telemetered to the ground. For this reason, the BAT has relied on the performance of its onboard real-time detection algorithms, and only preserves event data and telemeters them to the ground around the time of events that trigger these onboard algorithms. The GUANO implementation allows to download BAT event data that did not trigger on board. Upon receiving an alert from different observatories, an autonomous spacecraft-commanding pipeline requests to download from the Swift satellite the BAT event data around the time of the GUANO event with a time window, typically around 200 seconds. The satellite does not slew; therefore, only BAT event data are available for the GUANO event and these data are tagged with a sequence number associated with the ongoing observation containing the GUANO time window. This table records the times of the GUANO events from different observatories from which Swift was able to download the BAT event data together with the directory and file names where the event are located in the archive. There is one record for each trigger by an external observatory that requested BAT event data; therefore, it is possible that multiple records are associated with the same event. This contents of this database table are generated at the Swift processing site. During operation, it is updated for any new GUANO trigger. These updates are then delivered to the HEASARC and ingested into the HEASARC database in a timely fashion. Note that some parameters (specifically, the galactic coordinates) have been added and are populated by the HEASARC. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

TeV Gamma-Ray Source Catalog

TeVCat (<a href="http://tevcat.org/">http://tevcat.org/</a>) is an online, interactive catalog for very-high-energy (VHE: energies, E >~ 50 GeV) gamma-ray astronomy. As VHE astronomy continues to grow, the usefulness of a one-stop clearing house for information on new sources is increasingly evident. TeVCat is intended to be such a resource. With sky maps, scientific information, visibility plotters and linked references available at the website, it will help the wider gamma-ray community stay up-to-date and informed on this exciting and rapidly developing field. This HEASARC database table provides the TeVCat list of VHE sources as well as links to the TeV source resource pages on the TeVCat website. The catalog and <a href="http://tevcat.org/">the website at the University of Chicago</a> are maintained by Scott Wakely and Deirdre Horan. This table was first ingested by the HEASARC in July 2017 based on the catalog of VHE gamma-ray sources available at <a href="http://tevcat.org/">http://tevcat.org/</a>. It is updated automatically within a few days of the catalog being updated on the University of Chicago website. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

Public List of LAT-Detected Gamma-Ray Pulsars

The following is a compilation of all publicly-announced gamma-ray pulsars detected using the Fermi LAT. Each of the detections has been vetted by the LAT team, typically requiring a pulsed-detection significance of at least 5 sigma before announcement. We attempt to ensure that the information presented here is correct, but we strongly encourage users to consult the cited literature as the definitive source of information. Note that this list does not include all pulsars found in radio searches of LAT sources or other radio pulsars associated with LAT sources unless gamma-ray pulsations have been detected. To prevent inadvertent disclosure of private information, Edot column is only populated for pulsars whose discoveries have already been published, not just announced at a conference. Another warning: Edots in this list are NOT corrected for the Shklovskii effect.

CGRO/BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog

This database table comprises the gamma-ray bursts detected by the BATSE instrument on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO). It includes the gamma-ray bursts from the BATSE 4B Catalog (triggers 105 through 5586, observed between April 19, 1991, and August 29, 1996) as well as a large number of triggered bursts since the publication of the BATSE 4B Catalog. All BATSE trigger data from the CGRO mission are available through this facility. As part of a final archiving effort, the BATSE instrument team is making minor refinements to certain data products. These revised products will be delivered to the HEASARC as soon as they are produced and tested. Certain burst catalog parameters, notably the position information, may be revised through improved analyses and instrumental calibration. The final catalog will be posted here as soon as it is completed. The data files used to construct this database table are obtained from the following pages on the BATSE GRB Team website: <pre> BATSE Current Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog: <a href="http://gammaray.msfc.nasa.gov/batse/grb/catalog/current/">http://gammaray.msfc.nasa.gov/batse/grb/catalog/current/</a> Some flux and fluence data and all the comments are from the BATSE 4B Catalog: <a href="http://gammaray.msfc.nasa.gov/batse/grb/catalog/4b/">http://gammaray.msfc.nasa.gov/batse/grb/catalog/4b/</a> </pre> This database table was first created at the HEASARC in June 2001. The HEASARC version is automatically updated within one week of whenever the data files located at <a href="http://gammaray.msfc.nasa.gov/batse/grb/catalog/current/">http://gammaray.msfc.nasa.gov/batse/grb/catalog/current/</a> are changed.

ODY MARS GAMMA RAY SPECTROMETER 5 SGS V1.0

The ODY MARS GAMMA RAY SPECTROMETER 5 SGS (SGS) data set is a collection of data tables that contain a gamma spectrum and the associated engineering data that has been summed over 5-degree by 5-degree latitude longitude cells on the surface of Mars and over a time period of 15 degrees of solar longitude (Ls). The SGS are produced because the individual gamma spectra collected during an approximately 19.7 second collection interval do not contain enough counts to be statistically significant. The SGS are summed over large enough and long enough spatial and temporal intervals to provide a statistically meaningful spectrum that can be used for scientific data analysis.

Fermi Solar Flare X-Ray and Gamma-Ray Observations

The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope was launched in June 2008 to explore high-energy phenomena in the Universe. This GI program is targeted specifically at Fermi observations of high-energy solar phenomena, primarily solar flares. We provide quicklook products, data archives, and analysis software covering the solar X-ray and gamma-ray observations of both the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT), with the objective of facilitating and encouraging the broad use of Fermi data by the international solar physics community.

Updated AGILE Catalog of Bright Gamma-Ray Sources and Variability

This table contains some of the results from a variability study of a sample of bright gamma-ray (30 MeV - 50 GeV) sources. This sample is an extension of the first AGILE catalog of gamma-ray sources (1AGL), obtained using the complete set of AGILE observations in pointing mode performed during a 2.3 year period from July 9, 2007 until October 30, 2009. The dataset of AGILE pointed observations covers a long time interval and its gamma-ray data archive is useful for monitoring studies of medium-to-high brightness gamma-ray sources. In the analysis reported here, the authors used data obtained with an improved event filter that covers a wider field of view, on a much larger (about 27.5 months) dataset, integrating data on observation block (OB) time scales, which mostly range from a few days to thirty days. The data processing resulted in a better characterized source list than 1AGL was, and includes 54 sources, 7 of which are new high galactic latitude (|b_II_|>= 5 degrees) sources, 8 are new sources on the galactic plane, and 20 sources are from the previous catalogue with revised positions. Eight 1AGL sources (2 high-latitude and 6 on the galactic plane) were not detected in the final processing either because of low OB exposure and/or due to their position in complex galactic regions. The reference paper reports the results in a catalog of all the detections obtained in each single OB, including the variability results for each of these sources. In particular, the authors found that 12 sources out of 42 or 11 out of 53 are variable, depending on the variability index used, where 42 and 53 are the number of sources for which these indices could be calculated. Seven of the 11 variable sources are blazars, the others are the Crab pulsar+nebula, LS I +61 303, Cyg X-3, and 1AGLR J2021+4030. This HEASARC table contains 54 AGILE-detected sources and the main parameters of their maximum significance (defined by sqrt(TS)) detections: for each source, the name, coordinates, the sqrt(TS) value as a measure of the detection significance, the E > 100 MeV flux, the four variability indices described in Section 5 of the reference paper, the number of detections, the confirmed counterparts and source class, if any, and other possible associations ordered according to the angular distance from the AGL source are given. These data are listed in Table 5a of the reference paper. This HEASARC table does not contain the list of fluxes for these sources as measured in all of the relevant individual OBs (Table 5b in the reference paper). This latter is obtainable from the CDS: <a href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/J_A+A/558/A137/table5b.dat">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/J_A+A/558/A137/table5b.dat</a>.

Prism counting rates, normalizations, corrections, and thermal, epithermal, and fast neutron counting rates derived from neutron data collected by the Neutron Spectrometer of the Odyssey GRS instrument suite.

Catalog of Gamma-Ray Bursts: Afterglows

The GRB Afterglow table contains intensity and redshift measurements obtained with ground based telescopes or with space based observatories carried out after the detection of the GRBs. The catalog has been created using information from journal publications, IAU circulars, and GCN notices, and records afterglow measurements for bursts detected after May 1996. Each record within this catalog is dedicated to a specific measurement of an afterglow made with an observatory. Therefore for a given GRB, there are several entries reporting afterglow measurements from the different observatories. This catalog is linked to the main GRB catalog and it is updated when a new GRB and/or afterglow measurements are reported. This table was ingested by the HEASARC in June 2008 based on electronic versions obtained from the author(s), who compiled the catalog in 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

ODY MARS GAMMA RAY SPECTROMETER 5 AND V1.0

The ODY MARS GAMMA RAY SPECTROMETER 5 AND data set is a table of neutron data from the NS sub-system of the Mars Odyssey Gamma-Ray Spectrometer that have been averaged (AND) over 5-degree latitude by 5-degree longitude spatial grids and 15-degrees of aerocentric solar longitude (Ls). The AND are an intermediate data product. These data are calculated from the derived neutron data (DND) and result in maps of thermal,epithermal, and fast neutron counting rates.

ULY JUP GRB SOLAR X-RAY/COSMIC GAMMA-RAY RAW COUNT RATE

The archived data consist of count rates from the sum of two hemispherical detectors covering 4 pi steradians and operating continuously. The detectors are 3 mm thick CsI scintillators coupled to photomultiplier tubes. The nominal energy range is 25-150 keV, but the below table should be consulted to find the accurate thresholds for any day of the mission. Although the prime objectives of this investigation are the study of solar and cosmic x- and gamma-ray bursts, it should be noted that the experiment is also sensitive to solar protons and electrons. The former deposit energy directly in the scintillator if they are energetic enough, while the latter may produce x- radiation locally by bremsstrahlung. Thus although the counting rates are generally stable at about 500 c/s over the long term, there are periods of weeks to a month or so when the rates increase considerably due to particles. Examples may be found in March 1991 (solar protons) and February 1992 (particles in the Jovian magnetosphere). The time resolution of the data takes on one of four values depending on the telemetry rate and instrument operating mode: 0.25, 0.5, 1, or 2 seconds.
